The Monologue of Ice: Four Days, Spring Picnic, by Atta Kim.
This is from 2011, but you may have missed it. The installation, in the Rubin Museum, NYC, was by Atta Kim, who is a South Korean photographer (born in 1956) who has been active since the mid-1980s.
As the work melted, visitors were encouraged to touch the ice and take away non-potable water from the pool on their way out of the museum, using small glass containers that were provided. It was the artist’s intention that the collected water be used to continue the cycle of renewal by watering a plant.
This installation was a beautiful illustration of impermanence, insubstantiality, and interconnectedness.
